Video: Jonathan Siegrist on Idaho’s hardest route

A short film documenting Jonathan Siegrist on the first ascent of Idaho’s hardest route, “Algorithm” 5.14d (9a), on September 8th 2012.

“I could not fall. I think by the end I was screaming at every move – more nervous than tired – but definitely tired. I clipped the chains with swollen forearms and bleeding tips. ‘Algorithm’ 14d was born. Idaho’s hardest pitch, and one of the proudest F.A.s of my career.” – Jonathan Siegrist
